penguinsfan...pens short staffed tonight?

[infinii]

I've been reading that 4 pens will be trying out for junior world championship teams (fleury being the most notable).

Wasn't looking to bet on Atlanta (actually I thought to myself that Atlanta shouldn't be this heavily favoured against anyone). But if Pens are short staffed, I doubt I'd even waste the small wager on such a tempting ML.

They are not short staffed to my knowledge, yes Fleury is on loan to the Canadian team, as well as several minor leaguers if they can make the team. I can't say for sure who all was given permission to try out for the team or other national teams, but I would guess the only one worth mentioning is Fleury and that is more of cost cutting measure than anything.
Atlanta has 1 win against Pittsburgh since joining the league, the Pens, no matter how bad they are have this teams number. I will have a small play on the Pens tonight for sure.

Good Luck

Got the list of names fron thier web-site, nothing notable besides the obvious.

Marc-Andre Fleury
Maxim Talbot
Stephen Dixon
Ondrej Nemec (Czech Republic)
Patrick Bartschi (Sweden)

After some signs of life the other night I think they can wrap up the road trip with a decent effort, I will take the half goal though simply because there is still value at +200

Good Luck

thanks for the response.

I think you're right, getting +200 on a tie is great value and regardless of past history, the Thrashers are not a power team worthy of laying this type of juice.
